The Merrymeeting River and the beach at Alton Bay are treated chemically for milfoil, and I have never seen a dead fish floating in the water. I kept my boat at Parker Marine on the river and likewise, never saw a dead fish floating down the river. And the two huge snapping turtles at Parker's continue to grow.
